| 1 | Lessons [play] [lyrics]LessonsMike Rogers, Bobby McKee, Jimmy Fortune, Tom Botkin Like a puff of smoke from a single cigarette It just hangs around until the wind blows in Like a match burnin’ out This life without a doubt Is short and getting shorter all the time Still we work day & night to scrape and save If we reach our goals we’re almost in our grave We might fall sometimes it seems But you gotta chase your dreams At least you know what it’s like to feel alive Sometimes you live life like there’s no tomorrow Never thinkin’ ‘bout the consequence or sorrow Or the choices that we make of the promises we break You gotta take to heart each lesson that you learn Cause all roads lead back to bridges that you burn Some of the best things in this life are simple things Like a Sunday drive or a walk in the summer rain Your mama when she smiles The first steps of a child Or sittin’ watchin’ fireflies on the front porch swing Let’s learn to live and love so we won’t have regrets Cause one time through that’s all we’re gonna get Don’t be like those who wait until it’s too late Don’t risk it all and lose everything Sometimes you live life like there’s no tomorrow Never thinkin’ ‘bout the consequence or sorrow Or the choices that we make of the promises we break You gotta take to heart each lesson that you learn Cause all roads lead back to bridges that you burn There’s people out there wishin’ life away There’s others praying they had one more day It’s the choices that we make There’s so much at stake You gotta take to heart each lesson that you learn Cause all roads lead back to the bridges that you burn | |
| 2 | Rain [play] [lyrics]RainTom Botkin, Kevin DenneyThe weather man says it’s gonna down pour again But I’m used to that cause my eyes stay soaking wet I'm drowning inside drenched to my soul This cloud you left over me just won’t move on So rain wash away all of my pain Get it out of here take it on down to the sea Rain wash her memory far away from me There’s feelings in this house wish I could sit out by the road Some of them would sink some of them would float Some would cause a rainbow way up in the sky And I pray they don’t come back as tear in my eyes Oh rain wash away all of my pain Get it out of here take it on down to the sea Rain wash her memory far away from me Rain wash away all of my pain Get it out of here take it on down to the sea Rain wash her memory far away from me | |
| 3 | '68 Chevelle [play] [lyrics]'68 ChevelleKevin Denney, Tom Botkin, Mike RogersA couple rolls of quarters for coke and gasoline We’d sit as close as we could sit in bucket seats From that old mirror hung your high school ring Mine was on your finger man that was everything I'd push the clutch and you would shift the gears And for a sweet kiss or two I’d let you steer When love was new wasn’t it a beautiful ride Running down route 29 on a clear warm summer night When you’re young you think you’re older than your age And you think that simple life will never change Till you grow up and look back and want to feel the way you felt On a country road in a 68 Chevelle Man I can see that old spot where we used to park Lay back on the hood and stare up at the stars With the windows down and radio cranked up Ain’t nothing quite like that first time in love God I wish that I still had that old car now We could fire it up and roll on out of town And just relive all them good ole days When you thought I hung the moon how could I let you slip away Today I saw and old Chevelle today and you crossed my mind Ain’t it funny how an old car can take you back in time and make you realize When you’re young you think you’re older than your age And you think that simple life will never change Till you grow up and you look back and want to feel the way you felt On a country road in a 68 Chevelle In a 68 Chevelle | |
| 4 | With You [play] [lyrics]With YouTom Botkin, Chris Botkin, Jimmy Fortune, Mike RogersIf I could talk to the man in the moon We’d talk all night about me and you And laugh about how much you make us smile I’d catch a ride on a shooting star And land right there in your arms And girl that’s where I’d spend the rest of my life With you, with you, floating on a cloud somewhere Where dreams come true, where love ain’t scared With you, with you, there’s nothing in the world I would rather do Than be with you I wanna pick you up in a pirate ship And sail us so far outta here To an island and spend forever and a day Carve our names in the sun Spend all our time wrapped up in love In paradise and that’s where I’d want to stay With you, with you, floating on a cloud somewhere Where dreams come true, where love ain’t scared With you, with you, there’s nothing in the world I would rather do Than be with you With you, with you, floating on a cloud somewhere Where dreams come true, where love ain’t scared With you, with you, there’s nothing in this world I would rather do Than be with you | |
| 5 | Something Left To Lose [play] [lyrics]Something Left To LoseJimmy Fortune, Tom Botkin, Kevin DennyOne day you just wake up and the life you had is gone You stop to ask yourself what happened but the world keeps spinning on No time don’t wait on nobody and moving on is hard to do Even when you’re down to nothing you got something left to lose That’s when you find out who you are and what you ain’t Brand new start, what you are is new walls with no paint You used to have a lot of big dreams, they’d come true you had no doubt But one by one you watched them slip away now they’re just things you live without You could still chase them down again, you’re not broken you’re just bruised Yeah you might be down to nothing but you got something left to lose That’s when you find out who you are and what you ain’t Brand new start, what you are is new walls with no paint Life’s full of crazy twists and turns, constant roller coaster ride Takes your breath with its highs and lows, keeps you all shook up inside But if your heart’s still beating you got some living left to do Yeah you might be down to nothing but you got something left to lose Yeah you might be down to nothing but you got everything | |
| 6 | Where Do I Go From You [play] [lyrics]Where Do I Go From YouBuddy Hyatt, Don Goodman, Craig KarpI thought we had it all A love that would never die And I gave my heart to you Body and soul Never questioned why You can't make somebody love you No matter how bad you want to So I guess I’ll be moving on But where do I go from you And who do I turn to Will there ever be another true and perfect lover What am I gonna do, where do I go from you Maybe I'll just go back home Hang out with my old friends See if that girl still lives down the road The one that always could make me laugh Where do I go from you And who do I turn to Will there ever be another true and perfect lover What am I gonna do, where do I go from you If fools like me ever love again Time’s my only friend But where do I go from you And who do I turn to Will there ever be another true and perfect lover What am I gonna do, where do I go from you What am I gonna do, where do I go from you | |
| 7 | Skyline Drive [play] [lyrics]Skyline DriveJimmy Fortune, Jeff HydeI’ve been out here on this hard road I’ve been out here way too long I’m tired of singin’ harmony To all these lonesome songs I’m headed your direction With no harness on my heart Girl I gotta get to you And I ain’t gonna’ stop Till I’m ridin’ on that Skyline Drive That’s the fastest way to you girl And that’s what keeps me alive Gonna straighten out the curves Feels like I could fly A little closer to heaven On the Skyline Drive I’m heading through the Blue Ridge Mountains It’s a steep and windin’ road The only way to get to you And girl I gotta go I see the stars above me As I'm making my last climb Just shortened up the distance Between your heart and mine Yeah I’m ridin’ on that Skyline Drive That’s the fastest way to you girl And that’s what keeps me alive Gonna straighten out the curves Feels like I could fly A little closer to heaven On the Skyline Drive | |
| 8 | I Don't Know How To Love You Anymore [play] [lyrics]I Don't Know How To Love You AnymoreJimmy Fortune, Mike Rogers, Zach RunquistI miss the way you used to let me love you And how in your eyes I could do no wrong It’s been so long I don’t know what love feels like But I’m still holding on, are you already gone I don’t know how to love you anymore Do we know what we’re really fighting for God knows I don’t love you any less I just don’t know how to love you anymore Girl I miss the way we used to dance And I miss the way you used to hold my hand I never thought that we would end up here Back to back with silent tears I don’t know how to love you anymore Do we know what we’re really fighting for God knows I don’t love you any less I just don’t know how to love you anymore There's too many memories to forget I guess that's why I haven't yet Can't find it in my heart to let you go I don’t know how to love you anymore Do we know what we’re really fighting for God knows I don’t love you any less I just don’t know how to love you anymore | |
| 9 | From Here To Phoenix [play] [lyrics]From Here To PhoenixJimmy Fortune, Bobby McKeeThere’s not a day that goes by that I don’t think of you I wonder how your doing, if you think of me too I picture you in my mind, pigtails and baby dolls You running, laughing, playing without a care at all I miss you, oh, I miss you You’re not that little girl that you were yesterday You’re growing up so fast and in my heart I pray One day you’ll understand and you’ll know just who I am And hold on to each moment shared and know how much I really care and love you Oh, I really love you There you are in your world, here I am in mine Love can bridge the distance but it can’t stop the time This loneliness in my heart memories alone won’t fix Your touch, your smile, your laughter that’s what I really miss Sometimes it seems so far from here to Phoenix From here to Phoenix feels like a million miles away From here to Phoenix is where my love will always stay You’re not that little girl that you were yesterday | |
| 10 | At Least I'm Feeling Again [play] [lyrics]At Least I'm Feeling AgainBuddy Hyatt, Kim Williams, Keith Anderson, Doak TurnerTurned off my alarm clock couldn't sleep anyway Wonder if I'll find the strength to make it through this day Saved my crying for the shower to wash away my tears I’m over being mad at God cause he's the only who hears Some days I'm sad and lonely some days I'm fighting mad Living like I'm dying and missing what we had But at least feeling again and though it seems sometimes the hurt will end For so long I was numb but the pain is finally come And at least I'm feeling again, though I don't know if my heart will ever mend Sometimes when I smile I still have to pretend But at least I'm feeling again Turned on the radio heard our favorite song Couldn't stop my lips from trembling as I tried to sing along It brought back some old memories I’ve tried to erase Guess I need to realize they'll never go away Some days I'm sad and lonely some days I'm fighting mad Living like I’m dying and missing what we had But at least feeling again and though it seems sometimes the hurt will end For so long I was numb but the pain is finally come And at least I'm feeling again though I don't know if my heart will ever mend Sometimes when I smile I still have to pretend But at least I'm feeling again Sometimes when I smile I still have to pretend But at least I'm feeling again | |
| 11 | The Family [play] [lyrics]The FamilyTom Botkin, Kevin DenneyI ain’t even seen the light of day But I can hear every word they say Someone told them they’re too young to deal with this And they’re nothing but a couple of love sick kids But I’ve heard them talk when there is no one else around Picking out my name and working this thing out Everyday I’m getting bigger Every morning she’s getting sicker They both know that God don’t make no mistakes And a family is only five more months away She cried the first time she felt me move And from the silence I think he did too It must be a big old place out there And just like them sometimes I get scared There’s still so much that I don’t understand But I know that she’s my mom and he’s my dad Everyday I’m getting bigger Every morning she’s getting sicker But they both know that God don’t make no mistakes And a family’s only one more month away I just heard her say it’s almost time He said I’ll hold your hand and stand right there by your side But they both know God don’t make no mistakes And a family is only a few more tears away | |

| 7 | Before They're Gone [play] [lyrics]Before They're GoneJimmy Fortune, Justin Peters, ConstanceWe’ve all taken things for granted Sometime we only get one chance So make the best of what you’re given Before it slips right through our hands Dream your dreams, sing your songs Gather memories and hold on Catch the wind, feel the sun Say “I love you” to someone Before they’re gone, before they’re gone Look into your children’s eyes Help them dry the tears they cry These moments are precious and so few They become what they see in you So hold their hands, give them hope Heal their hurt and help them cope Teach them love, you will find That there’s just a little time Before they’re gone, before they’re gone Before we can change this world we see It all begins with you and me So dream your dream, sing your songs Gather memories and hold on Catch the wind, feel the sun Give forgiveness to someone Before they’re gone, before they’re gone Before they’re gone, before they’re gone | |

| 9 | Windows [play] [lyrics]WindowsKenny Beard, Casey Beathard, Jimmy YearyWe start out dressed in pinks and blues Behind crowded nursery room windows First school bus ride scared to death Teardrops fall and faces pressed on windows How we sposed to learn to read and write With all that livin goin on outside Windows to the world and to the soul To the past and down the road to where we wanna be Windows some are open some are closed For reasons only God would know some of us get set free And some miss those windows Can’t stop it once young love begins So we sneak out and we sneak in windows Then we stay up dreamin all night long About just married written on windows Who’d a thought our hearts’d get broken like they did Like shattered glass those backyard baseballs hits Windows to the world and to the soul To the past and down the road to where we wanna be Windows some are open some are closed For reasons only God would know some of us get set free And some miss those windows We wish we could but we can’t go back Some ships come in and go like that We count amens and we count regrets Ain’t that just life more or less Windows some are open some are closed For reasons only God would know some of us get set free And some miss those windows | |
| 10 | Crying [play] [lyrics]CryingRoy Orbison, Joe MelsonI was all right for awhile I could smile for awhile But then I saw you last night You held my hand so tight When you stopped to say, "Hello" An though you wished me well You couldn't tell That I'd been crying over you Crying over you Then you said, "So long" Left me standing all alone Alone and crying, crying Crying, crying It's hard to understand How the touch of your hand Can start me crying I thought that I was over you But it's true, so true I love you even more Than I did before So darling, what can I do For you don't love me So I'll always be Crying over you, crying over you And yes, now you're gone And from this moment on I'll be crying, crying Crying, crying I’m crying, crying Over you | |
| 11 | In God We Trust [play] [lyrics]In God We TrustJimmy Fortune, Justin PetersA nation built on sacrifice Soldiers and their families who’ve paid the highest price To give their all, to heed the call To keep us all alive and freedom standing tall Through war and troubled times we have endured And with these words we have been secure In God we trust how can we turn away our faces In God we trust the giver of our liberty We must not forget our freedom Only want him when we need him Four words that say so much in God we trust I pledge allegiance to the flag The thought of leaving God’s name out it makes me sad Our children’s hope we can’t neglect Because we want to be politically correct One nation under God that keeps us strong And by His grace we will carry on In God we trust how can we turn away our faces In God we trust the giver of our liberty We must not forget our freedom Only want him when we need him Four words that say so much in God we trust | |
| 12 | On The Other Side [play] [lyrics]On The Other SideTom Botkin, Kevin Denny, Jimmy FortuneOn the other side the sun always shines No minutes, no hours, there’s no such thing as time Where streets are paved with gold And you never grow old On the other side On the other side everybody sings There’s miles and miles of flowers and lots of pretty things Where the skies a perfect blue And everything looks brand new On the other side Well I’ve never been to heaven Didn’t know what it was like But God let me have a glimpse In my dream last night And I could see you smiling And you were looking right at me And for the first time in a long time On your face I saw some peace And I knew everything was gonna be all right On the other side On the other side do you ever see me cry Do you know how much I miss you Wish I could have said goodbye Just one more I love you Oh, am I really getting through On the other side Well I’ve never been to heaven Didn’t know what it was like But God let me have a glimpse In my dream last night And I could hear you laughing You were looking right at me And for the first time in a long time On your face I saw some peace And I knew everything was gonna be all right No more tears, and no more sad goodbyes On the other side, on the other, on the other side I’ll see you on the other side |

| 9 | When We Were Young [play] [lyrics]When We Were YoungJimmy Fortune, John RimelWe were just thirteen high school green Just some all American boys With a lot to learn and time to burn We just wanted to make us some noise So we formed us a band got a few one night stands And we wore out some cheapo guitars Time and again we’d cram it all in To the back of my daddy’s ole car Our hair grew long our hearts beat strong As we ran out into the night We pushed to the end then we’d do it again Oh man what a life We laughed and we sang our voices rang out And time seemed to go on and on There was so much to see what a cool place to be Oh God we had fun When we were Young When we were Young When we were Young When we were Young Time has a way of makin’ young hearts grow old But I won’t give in it won’t take one piece of my soul Our hair grew long our hearts beat strong As we ran out into the night We pushed to the end then we’d do it again Oh man what a life We laughed and we sang our voices rang out And time seemed to go on and on There was so much to see what a cool place to be Oh God we had fun When we were Young When we were Young When we were Young When we were Young | |

We just received our “Will The Circle Be Unbroken” CD & DVD, which are everything we expected. Each and every song is an absolute treasure. The new version of “More Than A Name On A Wall” gave me chills! Maybe better than the original. We can’t wait to hear these in person sometime. Will the “Brothers of the Heart” be performing in Virginia again… maybe in 2024?
Hi Nena and Jimmy. Is there any dates next year for Brothers of the Heart concerts yet? My sister and I would love to come fro. Scotland.
Please email me at nina@jimmyfortune.com. I can tell you so information that might be helpful.
I was fortunate enough to hear Jimmy this past Friday, 8/11/2023, in Selma NC. Also glad I had the opportunity to meet Mike Rogers who was backing Jimmy up that night and doing percussions. Loved all the songs. Probably the one that spoke to me most was “Love You More” where Jimmy reminded us God loves us more that we can imagine. My next goal is to hear Brothers Of The Heart perform in person. Hopefully at some point, that group will record “The Great Pretender”.
So happy Jimmy is doing so well after his heart surgery. My husband and I are trying to find a show we can attend soon. We hope to hear him sing “My Only Love” it was the song my husband picked out for our wedding. We will be married 38 years in May 2023 and we have always listened to that song on our anniversary. It is very special to us. Thank you for such a wonderful song and many other songs as well. Take care and hope to see you soon.
Are there any plans or possibilities to re-release the accompaniment tracks for the “I Believe” album? I just started listening to it, but learned the accompaniment tracks are out of stock.
The only thing available now is the track for the song, I Believe. You can get this from Amazon or Daywind.
Any plans on releasing any of your albums on vinyl? I grew up with the Statler’s playing in my house all the time, miss hearing y’all!
We love vinyl. We have requested but it’s up to the label.
The acoustic guitar that Jimmie played in the DVD of The Statler’s Farewell Concert in Salem, Virginia has such a beautiful tone. Is it by any chance a Takamine?
Yes, it was. Jimmy almost always uses them for live shows.
A beautiful guitar with an amazing tone… The “Tak” 12 string Acoustic Electric Jumbo has the tone and power of a Hammond Organ….JIMMY and the lads have no Idea how much they’ve done for me in my fight with the dark side of cancer recovery…..
I recently created a video of tribute to The Statlers. If interested, simply go to Google search or Youtube and search for “When The Statlers Sing Their Songs”. It is based on the old Statler song “So Mary Could Make It Home”. Same melody. My lyrics.
Be sure to include the quote marks.
Hope you enjoy it.
Last night on the Alaskan Cruise sponsored by Bill Gaither, Jeff Easter was wearing a signed Jimmy Fortune blue tee shirt. If I order a shirt online, can I get it autographed? If yes, please inform me to the cost. Thank you.
I had those at the bookstore on the cruise. Yes, if you order it there is a place to put notes. You can request that Jimmy sign it and if you want it to anybody in particular.
I did order 2 tee shirts, the beautiful blue one and the red one. I missed the note section. If convenient, please ask Jimmy to sign both. I have tried to return to the store section to retrieve the order number, but haven’t been able to locate it. I am from Maine. Thank you.
I’m sorry I didn’t see this! Since we have been gone so much someone else has been taking care of the orders for me.
We just saw Jimmy in concert in our small Texas town. It was such an uplifting concert. I just ordered 2 dvd’s to enjoy at home. Thank you for the spiritual booster shot! May God bless Nina and Jimmy Fortune!
I seem to remember “Christmas Country Style Live” being released on CD. Am I correct and, if so, is it still available?
The DVD is available but not the CD. Sorry about that.
I just purchased the ‘God & Country’ CD. I listen to it every day even though I can’t get through it with dry eyes. This CD should be required listening for every American citizen. I also purchased ‘Brotherly Love’ at the same time which is another great CD, all of the songs are perfect. Thank you Jimmy for making such relevant Music.
So last time I talked to Jimmy was in Benton Kentucky last year. And we were discussing music. It would be so cool and fitting since this year marks the 40th anniversary that he fist joined The Statlers to release an album full of songs that he wrote while with The Statlers that he has not released as a solo artist yet. Here is my list
1. if I’d paid more attention
2. A hurt I can’t handle
3. Holding on
4. Promise
5. Look at me
6. Memory lane
7. For cryin’ out loud
8. I lost my heart to you
9. Forever
10. One size fits all
I know he did not directly write the last one but his old songwriting partner John Rimel did while Jimmy was with the Statlers so in my eyes it counts.
Let me know what you think and what Jimmy thinks.
Looking forward to seeing you guys in Benton Kentucky again in September. Love you guys!
Jimmy, My husband sings in our church and we have a cd of Jimmy Fortune Hits and hymns there is a song IF I WAS GOD we love. We have looked every wear for a accompany tape so he can sing in church. Love all your songs and music. Do know where we can find one.
The record label does not release tracks. I’m so sorry.
Any plans for a new album in 2022???
There have been talks about one.
I go into assisted living facilities and nursing homes and share the gospel through music. I would love to sing “I Love You More” but can’t find a background anywhere. Will there ever be one made? What an awesome message. I’m a huge fan of Jimmy.
Thank you. Right now there aren’t tracks available for that song.
the song Here To Phoenix was that about jimmy;s daughter
The co-writer of that song has a daughter named Phoenix. He was missing her a lot that day.
the first time I went on Jimmy’s website I found a place on the site alled “jimmyJams” I loved it. I can’t find it on the site anymore what do I need to do. I loved Jimmy Jams.
A great fan
The Jimmy Jams was on Jimmy’s Facebook page. Go there and scroll back.
i know this isnt music but was wondering any idea when jimmys book will be out
Getting close to finishing. Should be early next year.
I”m so anxious to get the book! Glad it’s nearly finished. God bless you both. Love y’all. Bonnye
Any clue when sheet music and/or sound track will be available for I Love You More? Or if it is already, where? I searched musicnotes site but it is not there. Thanks!
Sound tracks will never be available from the Gaither masters so I think Daywind only does them if there’s high demand. Same for the sheet music.
im looking for the cd with good thing we love each other on it
That song is on the Windows CD. It’s called Good Thing.
Hi Jimmy!
Thank you for your time today talking about your music and career for my radio show! I felt like I was chatting with a brother. I look forward to our future conversations and listening/playing your music for my listeners!
I saw a Gaither special on Circle TV last week and you performed The Great I Am. Why can’t I find the si g on YouTube or when I Google? Does the writer have some sort of hold or copywrite on it? Beautiful song.
It was the Dailey & Vincent Christmas show. That song was written by Jimmy and Brooke and Darin Aldridge and has not been recorded yet. It will probably be on the next Christmas CD Jimmy records.
Just received a message from Branson that Jimmy’s show is cancelled. Not sure why. Hate to hear that! Very disappointed. Somehow I knew it was to good to be true.
Just received a huge surprise for my birthday on 10/18. My wife gave me 2 tickets to see Jimmy in Branson on 12/13 and I can’t wait. It truly is a bucket list item for me. Been a fan since the Statler Brothers days and will always be. December 13 can’t get here fast enough. I will always love the Statler sound because I grew up on it but the sound of his latest group is unbelievable. What a great compliment to his beautiful tenor voice. My wife and I will be in the 4th row center at the Starlite. It’s a dream come true!!!
We can’t wait to see you there!! I hope you like Christmas songs because he will be doing several on this show.
Nina I hope he sings O Holy Night, It’s a favorite. I have always wanted to hear Jimmy sing I bowed on my knees and cried Holy. I don’t think he ever recorded it but that would be a great song for him.
Hello everybody. Former Statler Brother Jimmy Fortune will be in concert at the Ho-Chunk Gaming Wisconsin Dells in Baraboo, Wisconsin on Saturday, September 29th at 1:00 P.M. & 7:00 P.M.
Here is the ticket information: https://aboutface.brownpapertickets.com
I saw Jimmy tonight in Marion, IL and had a wonderful time! I truly enjoyed the concert and would love to see him again. My daddy absolutely loved the Statler Brothers. He has since passed away, but would have been there with me as well! What an inspiring gentleman! Thank you for a great show! 🙂
Thank you for coming to the show!
Is there an accompaniment track available for “More than a name upon a wall”? I would like to use it at church for our Memorial Day program. It’s a beautiful song.
No, I’m sorry there aren’t any.
Jimmy you put on a great show last night in Liberty, NC. My dad and I drove almost 4 hours round trip to see you and it was worth every minute. You are a true Christian man and we were blessed to be there. I hope you and your family have a blessed and Merry Christmas and we along with some more will see you in Liberty again next year.
Thank you for coming and we hope you and your family have a wonderful Christmas.
informative website.
My husband is especially touched by Jimmy’s version “Far Side Banks of Jordan”. Is it available on a CD? He’s nearing the age of 83, and would like it played at his funeral. Would you please let me know where/how we can purchase it?
It’s on Jimmy’s “Hits & Hymns” CD. You can get this through the website, Cracker Barrel, or iTunes.
Hi My name is Brad Reside. I sang with Jimmy in a quartet at First Baptist in Hendersonville, last year. (The other side of the cross.)
I am trying to find an accompaniment track for the Starlets song, “The carols those kids used to sing”.
I wonder if you could help me out?
Thanks.
The Statler Brother’s never released any accompaniment tracks. Have you tried Daywind?
one more question if you will — will Jimmy & T. Graham be signing autographs after their Pigeon Forge concert Sunday? Thanks..
we will be in Pigeon Forge for the show – will Jimmy have his cd , Sings The Classics, on sale at the theater? Looking forward to seeing him & T.Graham too.
Yes, they will be available at the merchandise table in the lobby.
I’m getting married in February and we are wanting My Only Love sung at our wedding. I found the sheet music online and purchased it but it only has the music for the lead singer. Where can we find the music for all of the parts.
I’m hoping Jimmy makes it back to Crossville, TN one day.
Hymnals print parts but sheet music of other genres normally don’t. I’m not sure who is selling the sheet music you purchased but if you have having a quartet sing at your wedding they should be able to hear or figure out their parts.
JIMMY FORTUNE (FORMER STATLER BROTHER) WILL PERFORM LIVE IN CONCERT ON SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 23, 2017 AT THE RIVER ARTS THEATER IN PRAIRIE DU SAC, WISCONSIN U.S.A. HERE IS THE INFORMATION:

My almost 92 year old Mother recently passed away. All the music that we played was from Jimmy’s Hits and Hymns CD. Beginning with Amazing Grace followed by How Great Thou Art. We ended the service with Victory In Jesus. I was a little afraid that it was a little peppy for the final song so I was amazed at how many people commented to me how much they liked it—even the minister and his wife. I now plan to have these same songs played at my own funeral. Thanks for a tremendous CD.
I’m so sorry about your mother.
Jimmy I love your music. You have such a great voice. Just started hearing you when I got the RFD channel. I know you were with the Statler Bros for 21 years and you wrote some great songs for them. Jimmy I wrote a christmas song about my Dad and would like your permission to send you a copy to get your thoughts on whether I should pursue trying to get it recorded or not. I value your opinion highly. If so how would I get a copy to you. Thanks, James Wilson
We no longer accept unsolicited songs. It got to be way too much so now we ask if you need your song evaluated you check out http://www.nashvillesongwriters.com.
I’m on disability and can’t afford to join but thanks for your reply. I will try to start saving to join.
When will Jimmy’s new album “Jimmy Fortune sings the Classics” be coming out? I am looking forward to purchasing it and enjoying it. I know that it will be great like everything that he does.
You can order it now but the release date it 4-21-17.
Hi Jimmy & Nina, This is Sissie Slaughter – one of Jimmy’s classmates from Nelson County. I will be in Nashville April 23-30 attending a seminar for work. I haven’t been to Nashville since the 80’s and was wondering if you would recommend some places to check out while I was in town.
Thanks bunches!
If you can email Nina at nina@jimmyfortune.com she can help you a little.
I heard Jimmy sing “If” on RFD tv one night. It was a tribute to his wife Nina. I was wondering if I could buy a copy of that song somewhere. I loved it.
It is going to be on Jimmy’s next CD called Jimmy Fortune Sings The Classics. The release date is set for 4-21-17.
I am a huge fan of the Statler Brothers. I was grateful to find Jimmy still singing. I will see you in Rocky Mount, VA. Hope you make it to North Carolina soon. I would love to see you at 1st Christian Church in Kernersville (HINT HINT)
I do miss the Statler Brothers. Wish they would do one more reunion……Any chance that will happen????
Jimmy will be in Liberty, NC in December, not sure how far away this is from where you live.
I will say that when The Statler Brothers said they were retiring, they truely meant it. They all still stay in touch but no plans of singing together publicly.
My husband passed away 5/22/16. I had the song played “You And Your Sweet Love”.
I’ve looked everywhere for a CD with this song on it. Please help me in ordering a CD with this song. I also had “Far Side of Jordan” played. I have that one but want “You And Your Sweet Love ” so bad.
I live in Splendora, Texas about 45 miles north of Houston, Texas.
Please help me order a CD with this song.
Sincerely
Mary E Hamilton
Jimmy only sang that song on the Bill Anderson tribute show and that is available on DVD. You can also watch it on Youtube. Connie Smith made that a hit so I’m sure you can buy her version on itunes.
I am looking to purchase the written score for Victory In Jesus as performed by Jimmy. It is written in the key of A and modulated to the key of D for the second half of the song. Where can I find this score?
The musicians on the session may have written number charts for their own use that day but no score or sheet music was ever written out.
Hey Jimmy and Nina –
Working on an upcoming eulogy and want to use ‘The Other Side of the Cross’ with Jimmy, Daily and Vincent as my closing song, but I can’t find the CD!
Can you help me? (I’ll pay good money!)
Thank you

This version is on a Bill and Gloria Gaither CD called Old Rugged Cross. You can have someone download it from iTunes for $1.29.
Nina, I cannot find “You and Your Sweet Love” on the CD’s or DVD’s. Has Jimmy recorded it? It is one of my husbands favorite songs that he listens to on YouTube.
It is only on the Bill Anderson special DVD. I’m sorry, he hasn’t recorded it on a CD.
For my birthday this week, my mother and sister are taking me to the concert at Orange County High School. I am so thrilled! I saw the concert last year at the Louisa Arts Center and they have heard me speak of it repeatedly. So now they get to experience what I have did. We have enjoyed Jimmy’s voice since the first day we heard it.
Without Mom, I wouldn’t have a birthday to celebrate :), so if possible, could a song be dedicated to her? She has so many favorites, I couldn’t pick just one. Any song will do. Her name is Doris Gray and my sister is Paula. If not, thank you anyway. I know we will enjoy the concert!
God bless,
Sandy
Attended Jimmy’s concert with Darren & Brooke in Prairie du Sac, WI….what a beautiful collaboration of voices. Have always liked his tenor voice. So glad my husband & I got to hear them. Thank you Jimmy, Darren & Brooke.
Ray & De Kuehl
Thank you for coming!!
Hi Nina –
Can’t praise Jimmy enough for him singing the song with the Statlers about Noah finding Grace in the eyes of the Lord.
Jimmy’s part was outstanding.
I have been looking for a detailed bio of Jimmy. Kids? Marriages? Where did he raise his kids and other personal growing up info. Can you tell me where I can find it. He didn’t even give much info on Gaither’s special about him.
Thanks, Janet
Jimmy lived in central VA until 2004 so his children were raised there. Jimmy and his wife Nina moved to TN and still live there. His children are grown now and live in VA, NC and TN.
Hi, Jimmy I got to see you preform “I Believe” at SPBGMA this year. It was such a beautiful song. I have been searching how to purchase this song for a upcoming cd. I’m not getting any where. Could you lead me in the the right direction to do this please? Thanks so much!
To research songs you should check with BMI, ASCAP, or SESAC. Jimmy is listed with BMI as a songwriter and that will list the publishing for that song as his own, Jimmy Fortune Music. Please email Nina at Nina@jimmyfortune.com and she will set you up with a license.
Thank you. 🙂
Jimmy sang a song called I believe and I am wondering how I can get the sound track for it ?
The tracks for the whole I Believe CD are available on the shop page of the website. You can also get one through Daywind that has just the one song.
Is there a CD available of “I Believe” with Jimmy Fortune singing with Dailey and Vincent ? I love the video and would love to have a CD. Thank you.
There is a recording on the Gaither Bluegrass series. I know you can get it from itunes and you can order it from Gaither’s website.
Do you have available the sheet music and/or the accompaniment sound track (what keys?) for the song, “Come Back To Me.”
No, we do not have that available. Sorry!
I was wondering if there was a story behind the songs “Elizabeth” and “More than a name on a wall”
Jimmy tells the stories behind the songs at most of his shows. It wouldn’t be the same if I told it instead of him.
Several years ago, a southern gospel group from West Virignia that I was a member of was invited to the Statler 4th of July on gospel night. Several years later I was on business in Nashville and was staying a hotel that later I found that the Statlers were staying. I was in line for the breakfast buffet one morning and it was a long line and got to talking to the gentleman in front of me. We chatted and had a nice conversation. At first it didnt dawn on me who I was talking with. But when I saw him sit with 2 couple of members of the Statler group, it dawned on me that it was immy Fortune. He has always been a favorite singer of mine. I play guitars myself and grew up playing gospel as well as everything you can imagine. I hope that Jimmy will make it back to Roanoke VA sometime soon. I will definitely come out to see him.
Jim, Jimmy plays Radford, VA every July 4th. It’s a free show so we hope to see you there one year!
Nina- will performance tracks EVER be available for the new hits and hymns project?
No, that is up to the label and they said they have no plans to release tracks.
Thank you so much for touching my heart. I have been so blessed fromm Jimmy’s songs! I loved “I wrote it in Red”, ” I Believe”, & “On the Far Side banks of Jordan!”. Keep following the Spirit!
!
On 12/25 I ordered Jimmys Christmas Country Style cd/dvd.It arrived yesterday and I thank you for getting here so quickly. Jimmy is such a talented man, and I will be listening to this all year long. Sandra Thompson
Jimmy I love to hear you sing. You have a pure and distinct voice. I sing karaoke and would love to find a karaoke disc with FOREVER on it. I want to come to one of your concert as soon as possible. I hope you keep singing for a long time.
Nina, hello again…I just purchased 7 tickets for the Clifford Baptist Church concert on Dec. 11…cannot wait!
I have a special request for Jimmy that night….Could he dedicate his song ELIZABETH that night from my grandson (Cameron Maddox) to his wonderful girlfriend (ELIZABETH MASSIE).
Please let me know if Jimmy would do this special dedication for his ole classmate from Nelson?
I have the Hits & Hymns in CD and DVD. Absolutely love them both!!! I am still a Statler Brother fan and always will be. Thank you for continuing on solo Jimmy. Your talents are many and you bring joy to so many. May God bless you and your family.
Nina/Jimmy-
I brought my kids to see Jimmy’s show in Scottsburg, IN this past spring/summer at the Ross Country Jamboree. I believe you were at the merchandise table. First of all, my kids were so blessed to see the show. I have tried very hard to get them interested in 80’s & 90’s country music and thanks to YouTube, they are hooked lol. They fell in love with Jimmy while watching him sing In God We Trust on Country’s Family Reunion. Rebecca is 12, Bradley and Madison are twins and they 10. They were so thrilled when I purchased a picture for Jimmy to sign for them and when I went to purchase one for each child, you simply gave them 3 but insisted on me only paying for one. That was very sweet and my children we so excited. We watched the show and it was so cool to see my young kids singing along to Jimmy’s songs. He didn’t even sing their favorite “In God We Trust” and it was still the time of their life. They still ask me weekly if I will take them back again this year. My children we fortunate enough to meet Jimmy after the show and I took his picture with them and he signed the picture you gave each of them. My kids went to school and talked about the show(5th Graders & 6th Graders) and even though their classmates had no clue who Jimmy Fortune was, my children we proud and on cloud nine that they saw Jimmy. My 12 year old daughter even commented “Why spend $100 to go see a Taylor Swift concert and set a half a mile away, when I can go see Jimmy, who is a more awesome singer, and actually set close enough to see him for only $25.” That made me pretty proud so I wanted to share this with you so that Jimmy knows there is still a purpose for him singing and writing. I know at least 3 children who think he is cool and still look forward to seeing him sing. Thank you both so much and I look forward to bringing my wife and children to see you again this coming year…Jimmy you are simply amazing…God has definitely given you a gift and the Edwards Family is so blessed that you share that gift through song.
God bless you both and your family,
Jason, Andrea, Rebecca, Bradley & Madison Edwards
Vallonia, Indiana
P.S. I tried to paste the picture I took of my kids with Jimmy, but I couldn’t get it to paste into this comment box. If you want a copy please let me know and how I can get it to you. Thanks!
My mother watched a Gaither show recently (mid-October) when Jimmy Fortune was featured. She loved all the “old” songs she grew up with and wanted to order the CD but the number she wrote down is wrong. Can you help me decipher what she is talking about so I can order it for her??
Yes, it’s the Hits and Hymn CD, there is also the DVD too. You can order here, Gaither website, Cracker Barrel, Amazon or iTunes.
Nina Fortune, I have been to Cracker Barrel for the last three months and they kept running out of Jimmy’s Hits and Hymn. I would like to get one either CD or DVD. I see Jimmy in church some time.
Please email me at nina@jimmyfortune.com
Saw Jimmy in Branson this week. What a great voice. Really enjoyed the fact that he gave insight into what inspired him to write the songs he has written. It was very clear just how much he loves his family. The credit he gives his wife for his success is refreshing. Choosing him to replace Dewitt, under the awful circumstances, was a great decision. Have been a fan from the first time I heard Elizabeth.
I just wanted to say what a blessing it is to listen to Jimmy Fortune sing. I’ve been a fan of the Statler brothers since High School (1965). Being a Vietnam vet “More than a name on a wall” is one of my favorites. I saw the special on Jimmy Fortune on Bill Gaither and had to have the CD Hits and Hymns is great. Every song is great. “Far side banks of Jordan” and “I believe” is really special. Please keep the Gospel CDs coming and God Bless you and family.
Thank you!
I watched Jimmy on dish 276 this morning (hits and hymns) and when he sang I believe and amazing grace, he truly touched my soul. He is an awesome soloist. May God continue to bless the Fortunes.
is there a sound track available for HITS HYMNS cd
I’m not sure if the label is going to release that.
Is there a soundtrack for “In God We Trust” available?
I’m sorry but we don’t have tracks for that song.
Do you plan to have tracks available in the near future?
I’m not sure if the label is going to release that.
I was looking for the sheet music to I Believe and was wondering if it was available to
purchase?
Sorry I’m just now responding. It is available here for $5 and you can download it. Thanks!!
jimmy will always be one of my favorites. He has an awesome voice. luv the way he holds those notes for so long. I will always appreciate his gospel music. I know I will never see him in person but is there some place where I could get a picture of him? and by the way you Nina are a beautiful lady. thank you for your time.
Does Jimmy Fortune have the song “Lighthouse” on any of his CD’s? Thanks
No he doesn’t but his brother Tony sang it on his own CD years ago. Sorry!
We saw Jimmy today in Marion, NC at the NC State Bluegrass Festival. He really did a awesome job singing today. My favorite song Is I Have To Much On My Heart, but when he sang, How Great Thou Art, I had cold chills!
Thank you!! We always have a great time in Marion.
I would like to record one of Mr. Fortune’s songs, but I would like to discuss it with him first. If you could send me an email address by private message, where I could send him a message I would truly be thankful. Blessings
Bob Courtney
You must get permission from the publisher. Jimmy is a writer affiliated through BMI so you can look up the song to see who the publisher is or you can email info@jimmyfortune.com and I can tell you. Thanks
I have been trying to figure out who wrote the Statler Brothers’ song “It’s a Small, Small World”, but cannot locate that information online.
I googled it and it says that Thom Schuyler and Gary Scruggs wrote that song.
Thoroughly enjoyed your show in Celina, Ohio today.
Thank you for taking time to sign autographs & having
your picture made with us. God bless you.
Met Bro. Jimmy (hope he doesn’t mind me calling him that) tonight after the concert at Immanuel Baptist Church in Pace, FL. He will never know what it meant to this pastor of Bible Way Baptist Church, a little church in Milton, FL, to give me a few minutes to tell him what “On the Other Side” means to my wife and me. Today, March 20th, would have been our son’s 33rd birthday (Bill, Jr.); he was stillborn. Knox County, TN, has no record of his live birth, but heaven is fully aware that he lives. He is “on the other side,” and we will see him…just as surely as we’ll see Jesus. Thank you for hugging the neck of an old preacher and truly caring. Because of Calvary, Pastor Bill Wright Ps. 121:1-2
The first time I heard ” I Believe “, I had just lost my Mother.
I sat in my truck, and cried,till there were no tears left. My eyes still fill up, and my heart still aches when I hear it. But
each time afterwards, my soul is cleansed, and my heart heals a little more from the storms its seen. Thank You and God Bless
Amen, God Bless you. Loosing a mother is one of the most difficult thing we have to live through.
terry shifflett i know how you feel and i cry everytime i hear the song too. my mother has been gone for 9 years and it just seems like yesterday that she passed away. all i have to do is think about her and all the good times and things we did together and i cry. i miss her so much but i know that she is with God and she is happy and this puts a smile on my face.
Jimmy is one of the great singers and writers of our time. I recently discovered his talents when I purchased the Statler’s last tour performance. He may have replaced DeWitt but DeWitt could not replace him.
trying to find the sound track for “my only love”
I’m sorry but we don’t have tracks available for that song. We only have tracks for the “I Believe” CD.
If and where can we buy a karaoke copy of I Believe. Our Church Praise Singing Group would really like to do it on one of our Sunday Service’s.
The whole CD is available as tracks on this website on the shop page. Or you can get just this song, but in different keys through Daywind.
I can’t seem to find the “I Believe” CD that is just soundtracks. All I see is the regular CD. (Unless they are both on one CD?).
It has a blue cover. Here is a link to it on the shop page.

Nina- will Far side banks of Jordan be available as an accompaniment ,soon?
